New comics Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

BioWare Dilution

The BioWare name used to indicate the pinnacle of Western RPG design. I sunk more hours (hundreds) into Baldur's Gate II than any other. There are two games that have caused me to throw down my controller in shock and dismay at the narrative, and Knights of the Old Republic is one of the two.

I was wary when Electronic Arts purchased BioWare. And this is why. I don't have anything against Victory Games, but when a new, unproven studio gets relabeled "BioWare Victory", it's time to pour one out for the days of yore.

I hope the Madden dialogue wheel in today's strip amuses you. It's even funnier if Tim Placebo and the Broncos somehow win this weekend. And for you younger football fans, you may have missed the magnificence of coach Jim Mora.
